Chapter 31: Pure Luck?

Riku and Solomon witnessed the Naga monster appear in their vicinity. Solomon examined and sniffed his neck for a reason.

"Riku, why did you lure the serpent monster? It used your scent to locate our location," he explained tremblingly, not knowing how he was going to respond to the monster's aggression.

Riku had forgotten about those crucial details, but this forest was too large for the monster to detect him using his scent.

Chomp!

He quickly grabbed Solomon's arms, intending to flee with this monster as soon as possible.

Thud!

Solomon, on the other hand, used his strength to stop him. There were large chunks of stone in front of them, and the healthy lake was behind them. "We can't run there, Riku; even if we swim in the lake, the monster will catch us."

They turned around to see the monster staring at them. The monster's body was erupting with a powerful surge of energy as it cast all of its buffs.

Tsk!

He snapped his tongue and took Solomon's sword. "Let me borrow your weapon, Solomon, and I'll give you time to flee," he suggested solemnly.

Solomon furrowed his brows, perplexed as to where this man got his courage. Furthermore, he was well aware that this man was weaker than he was as he could see his thin mana pool coating his entire body.

"Eh? Are you sure about this, Riku? That monster can easily kill you, and if I'm here, we can fight that monster together," he explained, concerned. Since he's the primary reason Riku was in this forest.

He gradually shook his head, smiling as if he'd be fine even without Solomon. In his mind, he should reduce the likelihood of Solomon being killed.

"No, I disagree with your decision. There's one who should survive, and that's you, Solomon. Your wife and daughter were waiting for you to come home, so move right now while you still have a chance," he said cheerfully, but he didn't want to be defeated by the Naga monster.

Solomon's heart was softened by those words, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. As the masked man who has no special relationship with him and is willing to make a sacrifice just to save a lowly farmer like him.

He wiped his tears and stood boldly next to the young man. Solomon said with a nod of his head. "Don't die, Riku, if we both return to the Arzotoc village."

Riku realized, Solomon, that he couldn't return to the village alone as he was still under the [Astray spell]. But facing this monster alone was much better for him though he didn't have to think about anyone.

Swoosh!

And then, all of a sudden, the Naga monster charged towards him at full speed. He was alarmed by this occurrence, so he moved his legs without hesitation.

"Now, Solomon, run!" Riku yelled, then Solomon was dashing next to him.

Clang!

Riku's sword was blocked by the monster's thick tail. Simultaneously, he noticed Solomon was staring at him as he fled the perilous situation.

"Don't look at me! Just keep running!" he told him, knowing that Solomon was the type of man who would return to help him.

Solomon's eyes are closed, and he has a regretful expression on his face. "The name Riku Hirota, I'll never forget you! Thank you so much!"

Riku can tell from these words that Solomon thought he was going to die in this monster. 'I save him from the brick of death, and he can still say such things?' Whatever..." he thought to himself as he pushed the monster's thick tails.

Skeek!

His feet were slipping back as he realized he was no match for the monster's physical strength. So he simply kicked Naga's body with his legs to easily create a distance.

Bam!

The main danger in this battle was the deadly poison in the monster's fangs, as he could kill me with just a scratch. 'I can't blink my eyes here if I don't want the monster in front of me to vanish.'

They could see thick vines, tall trees, and a marble surface in the fighting area. His ears picked up on the sound of calm water hitting the stones.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Riku kept swinging his sword, and the monster was only using its tails to fight back. To be more specific, the monster's tail appeared to be made of solid metal, and Riku was pushed every time the tails struck his sword.

His feet were sliding back as he had no match against the monster's high physical strength. So he just used his legs to kick Naga's body to easily create a distance.

Bam!

"No, I can't stay in this situation for too long, Solomon's sword couldn't possibly last with the destructive power provided by this stupid monster!" Riku kept thinking, unaware that the green large tail was heading toward his head.

Thud!

He noticed the notification on the screen in front of him, but he couldn't read it as the position for him was flipping. To put it another way, he was launched into the air and rapidly spun around.

Thud!

After his body smacked against the tree, he took five more hits to his health power. As a malignant bow was placed on his head, his eyes were filled with red blood.

"Argh! Why is that tail already in front of me?" he groaned, quickly regaining his footing, knowing the monster could easily kill him if he stayed in that position.

Boom!

The monster launched another attack, which fortunately landed on the tree where Riku had been sitting earlier. The tree collided with the ground as a result of its force.

Swoosh!

The force of the falling tree created a wind, which carried all of the dust through the air. As a result of the monster concealing his presence, Riku was able to flee.

"The fuck? That's the actual strength of that attack?" he asked, his vision blurred.

He knew it was safe to flee since he assumed the monster couldn't see him until... Sharp nails stabbed him in the stomach, and a red screen appeared in front of him.

[HP: 47/100]

His eyes widened as he witnessed how a specific person stabbed. He had previously considered how the person would feel after being stabbed with a sharp knife.

It was cold, his vision darkening, and he could feel his blood seeping through his clothes. His body was numb at this point, and he couldn't think clearly.

He was in a critical condition, according to 47 health power. Why? Because this monster would surely kill Riku in two more stabs. And, yes, Riku Horita was too weak to fight such a powerful monster.

He chuckled for some reason, his blood spitting out of his mouth. "Hahaha! I saved by my luck twice, and it appears to be my sign to avoid a dangerous situation; there will be no third time, and I'll surely die here," he muttered.

What he could do? His mana wasn't regenerating so he could cast again the [Fire claw], at the same time, he can fight the monster but it changed when the Naga speed and added super strength with its all attack.

It's all done...

His eagerness to come into his earth vanished, he kept fighting but the monster was too strong for his capability.

Blag! Blag! Blag!

[HP: 12/100]

"I have never enjoyed my life being a mutant!"

Boom!

And all of a sudden, before his health power back to zero percent the chunk of stones dropped to the monster.

Eh?

The heck?

Does someone attack the monster?!

Those were the words spits by his mouth, confused where that strong explosion came from. Liters of blood were lost to him while slowly regaining his footing.

"Shit?! What is this? The monster is stuck?"
